Abstract

Embodiments of a wireless device and method for channel access are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the wireless device is configured to measure channel quality and set a backoff delay for channel access based on the channel quality. Shorter backoff delays are set for better channel quality and longer backoff delays are set for poorer channel quality.
